Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen Crippled Herring Jig Lure, 1 1/2oz fishing spoon #10788

At 1 1/2 oz (42 g), this heavy-bodied metal jig is finished in a high-visibility yellow pattern with distinct black vertical barring. Produced under the Luhr Jensen brand as product code 10788, the Crippled Herring features a "Smash Flash" finish designed to simulate the reflective scales of a baitfish. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure is equipped with a prominent lifelike eye and a sharp red treble hook that provides a clear strike point for predatory fish. This specimen is unused, still housed in its original factory packaging which details its production history in Hood River, Oregon. Designed as a versatile tool, the packaging indicates it is equally suitable for jigging, casting, and trolling in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
